Home truths
Aside from than the forty-eight-inch TV, there are very few entertainment options – no books, sound system, or games collection.
The shower tends to spray water all over the bathroom floor.
It's clearly a rental property – you won't find many personal touches, unique character or quirky possessions to gawp at.
One of the bedrooms does not have air conditioning and could get quite warm during the swelteringly hot summer months.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
Expect some general signs of wear and tear here. For example, the doors and closets could use a new lick of paint.
The hot water takes a while to warm up.
